Two of Australia’s finest chefs, Steven Snow and Clayton Donovan will come together in the Fins kitchen for one service only on Sunday September 13, and have themed their lunch Wild Food Flavours.

The lunch, which features a five-course menu featuring bush and sea elements and includeind a native cocktail on arrival was an idea created by Pam Brook of Brookfarm. “Both chefs have been championing local producers for well over a decade,” said Pam Brook. ‘They’ve been great role models in the local food movement as well as leading the way with their award-wining sustainable methods.”

Clayton Donovan is Australia’s only indigenous hatted chef. He grew up on Gumbaynggirr and Bundjalung land on the mid north coast of New South Wales and started learning about native produce when he was four years old out walking with his Aunties and grandmothers, taking what they found in the bush or along the coastline and cooking it up at their homes. “Without me even realising it, it was the start of a lifelong love of Wild Food,” says Donovan.

Steven Snow has retained his Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide one hat for the past nineteen years. The lunch, hosted at Fins, Salt Village, South Kingscliff, will be a dining experience not to be missed.

“I learned the different techniques, flavours and ideas – now I combine that with what I consider to be the best produce I’ve seen in the world, right here on the north coast, to create something that is interesting and local, yet with its soul intact.” – Steven Snow.
